Abstract

In this work, we present elaboration of Ta-based thin films by ALD from a novel tantalum precursor, the eta2-N,N'-isopropylethylguanidinato-tetra-diethylamino tantalum ([eta2-(i)PrNC(NEt2)NEt]Ta(NEt2)4, IEGTDEAT). Ammonia was used as reducing agents. The experimental conditions were optimized by quartz microgravimetry, studying the influence of duration of precursors and purge pulses and the substrate temperature. An optimal deposition temperature of 260 degrees C was showed. Ta-based thin films deposited on planar and patterned substrates showed a perfect conformality and continuity, even at low number of cycles.
